If you’ve been chasing ultra high-yield dividend ETFs, now is the moment to pay attention. Big names like Yield Boost, Yield Max, and Roundhill have been performing insanely… until the SEC stepped in.
In recent months, leveraged ETFs have exploded in popularity—but regulators are cracking down hard. The SEC has halted several highly leveraged ETFs, forcing some issuers to revise strategies or completely withdraw their funds.
Here’s what’s happening:
Leverage crackdown: 2x, 3x… even 5x ETFs are under scrutiny. Imagine a 5x ETF—if the underlying stock drops 20% in a day, the fund could be wiped out. Insane risk.
ETF closures: Defiance announced it’s shutting down eight funds, including the popular MST 2x long on MSTR, which had lost 90% of its value. Trading ends January 26, 2026.
The winners survive: Some leveraged ETFs, like TQQQ (3x NASDAQ), continue to thrive, showing there’s still room for carefully chosen funds—but caution is key.
The takeaway? High yields can be tempting, but what skyrockets can crash even faster. Ultra high leverage may bring massive gains… but it can also destroy your portfolio in a blink.
📊 Quick snapshot of recent ETF performance (since late 2025):
PLT: +3%

The SEC’s crackdown is a wake-up call: don’t chase the hype blindly. Focus on ETFs with solid fundamentals, lower leverage, and sustainable growth.
